O THAT I could, in every place, By faith behold Jehovah's face, My strict observer see, Present my heart and reins to try; And feel the influence of his eye For ever fixed on me!

Discerning thee, my Saviour, stand My Advocate at God's right hand, I never shall remove; I cannot fall, upheld by thee, Or sin against the majesty Of omnipresent love.

Now, Saviour, now appear, appear! And let me always see thee near, And know as I am known: My spirit to thyself unite, And bear me through a sea of light To that eternal throne.
